This is a request for assessment, not a grading promise — every card is inspected by hand.
By sending your card(s) to Danny's Card Lab, you agree to these Terms & Conditions:
1. Risk
Card restoration is not an exact science. All cards react differently to cleaning, humidifying and structural work. There is an inherent risk that a card may react negatively to the process.
2. No Guarantee
We will always work to the best of our ability, but we cannot guarantee a specific result. Restoration may fully improve, partially improve, or in rare cases not improve a card's condition.
3. Liability
While every care is taken throughout the restoration process, we are unable to accept liability for any damage, change in condition, or impact on market value that may result.
4. Slab Cracks
Slab cracking is a delicate process and carries some risk of damage to the card inside. As this process is irreversible, please be aware that we are unable to accept liability for any damage that may occur.
5. Quotes & Booking
No work begins until you have received a written quote and approved it. Prices quoted are per card and confirmed after the free assessment.
